Acupuncture Studies in South Carolina - SC

The Acupuncture Act of South Carolina set standards for practicing acupuncture in South Carolina in 2005. It created a committee under the medical board and eliminated the need for medical doctors to refer patients or supervise the acupuncturist. It also created training standards on par with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) credential requirements.

The training you receive will give you skills in the principals and practices of acupuncture. Programs include a Masters degree in Five Element Acupuncture, and often incorporate the study of Chinese herbs. The program is typically 36 months long with the last 12 months dedicated to clinical internship.
